From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are there any good Blu-ray ripping software for Linux? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm well aware that I can rip most Blu-rays with MakeMKV and then convert to mp4 with Handbrake; however, the former just rips everything raw from the disk so the file size is humongous and the conversion via Handbrake for just a single file is terribly long and puts a lot of strain on my computer.

I've heard that EaseFab LosslessCopy is decent, but they only have a Windows and a Mac version, and I'm unsure how well it'd run under Wine.

I am willing to pay for it, but only as long as it's not a subscription thing. Has to be a one-time payment.

Does anyone know any decent Blu-ray ripping software that fits these conditions and run well on Linux? Specifically, it would be either Pop!_OS or Linux Mint. (I'm still using Windows because I want to figure out some software alternatives before I do so I'm not caught with my pants down, so to speak.)

Please excuse me if I'm misunderstanding, but I fail to see the joke here...

I was jokingly suggesting just pirating the content instead

Ah. Fair enough. I do dabble in the seaworthy arts from time to time, but I figured I already have it on Blu-ray so why do that? Lol.

Depending on your location and internet speed, you might be better off dabbling.

Some places let you own a backup copy legally, and if you've got decent internet, it might even be faster than ripping and converting it yourself.

I appreciate the advice (really, I do :) ), but I think I got it, thanks to a lot of the advice the others have given me regarding Handbrake and the like. :)

This. I can get a 15ish GB 4k movie torrented faster than I could rip and transcode it.

In Minecraft of course
